Tech Tip: How to retrieve a picture from 4D Open for Java
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 6.7 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: September 28, 2001

The Picture type does not exist in 4D Open for Java. If you need to retrieve a picture, you will need to use the BLOB type instead. In your 4D database, you may have a Picture field. In your Java code, you will have the following statement:

mydataArray[0].mDataArray[0].mBlob;

The above example will allow you to retrieve the picture into a BLOB Java field.

The following CreatePicture method will allow you to retrieve the requested picture:

myPicture = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().CreatePicture (mydataArray[0].mDataArray[0].mBlob);
